UK demand is low atm, expecially in London. Many more opportunities exist overseas.. Switzerland, France, Holland, ..Wales

I've only just got back on the game after 4 months in the bush :hat

Hmm, strange, that's exactly what the Welsh say about Bristol....

UK has been quiet since about January. Brief burst of UK calls just recently but have jumped ship now and started a contract in Amsterdam.

Anyone else out here in AMS??

I think you'll find demand and supply change very quickly these days and hence the rates are up and down like a yoyo also. There are more jobs but a hell of a lot more contractors than pre Y2K. In 10+ years I've had a 3 month wait ( xmas until new tax year a few years back, usually a bad spell to be out of work in my experience, were there was maybe half a dozen jobs on offer for my skill with many dozens looking, rates fell sharply, low experience people had no chance and I think some must of been out of work for a long time ). Otherwise I've always found work within a month and a few times within the day. I'd give myself a month in the current market if I wasn't too fussy.

I’ve been looking for a job and since I now live in Belgium then Amsterdam would suite me just fine

Think if I knew a bit of Dutch I could find work in Europe easier then I could in the UK

You'll be off to Amsterdam too, then
